Honoring the famed BMW R100RS on it’s 40th, to be held in Central Calif., Sept 9 – 11, 2016 in conjunction with the old ‘’Gathering of the Tribes Rally’’. ALL interested in Airheads and the Airhead Beemers Club are welcome to attend this rally. Beautiful riding near Kings Canyon and Yosemite NP. Fun and games for all. https://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/ ... -Map_2.jpg
